A compensating plug connector comprising a plug, a receptacle mating zone, a cable mating zone and an intermediate zone. Each of the zones is such that Near End Cross Talk (NEXT) resulting from transmission of the high frequency signal across each zone is below a specified amount chosen such that NEXT introduced by a high frequency signal transmission between via all the zones is below a level as specified for the cabling category.

A connector is provided with a first connector 10 and a second connector 11 connectable to each other. The first connector 10 includes a UTP module 15. The UTP module 15 includes UTP inner conductors 65 to be connected to wires of a UTP cable 12. The second connector 11 includes an electrically conductive shield member 21 for covering outer peripheries of the UTP inner conductors 65 with the first and second connectors 10, 11 connected.

A shield connector is provided with a dielectric 40 including a plurality of accommodation chambers 44 defined in a width direction by a separation wall portion 43, and a plurality of inner conductors 21 having a shape elongated in a front-rear direction and individually accommodated in parallel in the plurality of accommodation chambers 44. The separation wall portion 43 is formed with a front opening 53 and a rear opening 60 for interposing air layers between the accommodation chambers 44 adjacent via the separation wall portion 43.

A connection module includes a first assembly and a second assembly. The first assembly has a rest portion for resting thereon an exposed portion of a covered electrical wire for differential signal transmission. A cable accommodates the covered electrical wire in a jacket. The exposed portion is not covered with the jacket, exposing a covering of the covered electrical wire. The second assembly has a presser portion pressing the exposed portion rested on the rest portion against the rest portion. A position of the exposed portion is determined by combining the first assembly with the second assembly.

This connector assembly is provided with a communication cable, a tubular watertight plug, and a housing part, wherein the watertight plug is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the communication cable, the housing part has a tubular inner circumferential surface covering the outer circumferential surface of the watertight plug and a raised section that projects out from the inner circumferential surface toward the watertight plug, and the raised section catches the watertight plug so as to oppose the slip-off direction of the watertight plug from the housing part.
